Le monde du Sahel/Promoting Academic Collaborations and Spaces

As part of the 2026 Sahel Symposium, the new AEGIS Collaborative Research Group Le monde du Sahel: Promoting Academic Collaborations and Spaces (Sahel/PAX) will be officially launched in a hybrid session. The CRG Sahel/PAX aims to cultivate an intellectual space for research and research collaborations in the Sahel, and a pole of exchange for knowledge produced from the Sahel, nourished by the decolonial ambition to centre the gaze in the Sahel, towards the world.

Uppsala University's Forum for Africa Studies Sten Hagberg is a co-founder of Sahel/PAX:
- This European research network grows out of Uppsala University's long-term research engagements in West Africa. The focus on academic collaborations and spaces offers possibilities to join forces between West African and European researchers independently of thematic and disicplinary orientations.
